Asbestos in Commercial Property: A Landlord’s Guide

If you own or manage a commercial property, asbestos is a serious concern. Many older buildings contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), which can pose health risks if disturbed.

As a landlord or property manager, you’re legally required to conduct an asbestos survey and manage any risks identified. This includes keeping an up-to-date asbestos register and ensuring that contractors are aware of ACMs before starting work.

Failure to comply with asbestos regulations can result in fines, legal action, or even imprisonment. Protect your property and its occupants by staying informed and proactive.
